Chromosome pair 23?
Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes. One pair of sex chromosomes, and 22 pairs of autosomes.See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome
What chromosome pair is not given a number?
The sex chromosomes, X and Y, are not given a number. They determine an individual's sex and are not part of the standard numbered pairs of autosomes.
What does each member of the chromosome pair come from?
Each member of a chromosome pair comes from one parent; one chromosome is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. This means that for each chromosome in a pair, one is maternal and the other is paternal. These chromosomes carry genes that determine various traits and characteristics of an organism. In humans, for instance, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46, with half coming from each parent.

How do the members of a chromosome pair contribute to genetic inheritance?
The members of a chromosome pair contribute to genetic inheritance by carrying genes that determine traits and characteristics. During reproduction, each parent passes on one member of each chromosome pair to their offspring, resulting in a unique combination of genes that determine the individual's genetic makeup. This process is essential for passing on genetic information from one generation to the next.

What pairs of human chromosomes are autosomes?
